Best Acetyl-L-Carnitine 588mg

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is a naturally occurring form of 
L-Carnitine, a vitamin-like nutrient synthesized in the body 
from the amino acids lysine and methionine. ALC serves as a 
transport molecule for "active acetate," which is a source of 
fuel for metabolic processes that take place in cells. ALC 
carries active acetate (the "Acetyl" portion) directly into the 
mitochondrion, the cell's energy-generating structure. Active 
acetate is used to produce cellular energy in the form of ATP. 
Both L-Carnitine and ALC serve as fat carriers. Unlike 
L-Carnitine, ALC readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, where 
it has specific benefits for brain neurons. When taken orally, 
ALC has been shown to increase ALC levels in both blood and 
cerebrospinal fluid, demonstrating its uptake in the brain.1 
Best Acetyl-L-Carnitine consists of Biosint™ Acetyl-L-Carnitine, 
which is manufactured in Italy by the Sigma Tau company. It is 
derived from a base of pharmaceutical-grade L-Carnitine 
manufactured using an FDA-approved process that fully complies 
with international monograph standards for carnitine production. 
Known as a global leader in L-Carnitine research, Sigma Tau 
holds numerous patents for production of L-Carnitine, and its 
L-Carnitine derivatives, such as ALC, which are used in clinical 
trials.
